We intentionally created conditions in which the Li-ON battery pack would explode inside a generic portable. The results are dramatic. There are numerous conditions where these fires can occur in real life. Faulty battery packs (driving the recalls), faulty protection circuits inside the PC, exposure to excessive heat, and blunt force are some of the major ways that this could happen to you.

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. THE WINNER IS EXILEDSOLDIER. FURTHER DETAILS HERE: http://tinyurl.com/5gsl9p ============ Want to win a $5000 laptop and over $500 in extra software and DVDs? Keep reading... The full contest details can be found here on Digital Home Thoughts: digitalhomethoughts.com/news/show/89043 Here's the short version... We're launching our 31 Days of the Dragon giveaway contest today (check out www.31daysofthedragon.com for more details on the other 30 sites involved with this). This is a pimped out-to-the-max HDX9200 notebook PC worth about $5000 if purchased at retail. The laptop features an Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 CPU (2.8 Ghz), 500 GB of storage (2 x 250 GB hard drives), 4 GB of RAM, integrated HDTV tuner, fingerprint reader, nVidia GeForce 8800M GS with 512 MB of RAM, a 20.1 inch WUXGA screen (1080p, 1920 x 1200), and lots more. The software bundle includes Office 2007, three Blu-ray DVDs, and more. I'm reviewing it, but when I'm done (on or around the 17th of May), I'm giving it away to one of YOU. *** The Official Contest Rules *** 1. Watch this video, rate it, and post a comment page. Your comment should answer this question: "How will the Dragon rock your world?" Meaning, if you were to win the HDX9200, how would it change things for you? Would it allow you to get rid of your current computer, monitor, keyboard, and speakers? Would you come up with creative uses for a powerful workstation that could be moved - could you finally launch that mobile music recording studio business, be a wedding photographer and edit photos on the spot, or would it allow you to achieve some other goal? Or would you just revel in the sheer power of being able to play games and edit movies faster than ever before? Tell me how you'd use this powerful computer! 2. After you've posted your comment (only one comment per YouTube account), click on the yellow Subscribe button to subscribe to the Thoughts Media YouTube Channel. 3. If you want to double your chances of winning, also post your comment over on Digital Home Thoughts as a reply to this post. Please post your YouTube username as well so I can verify that you've subscribed to our YouTube channel and posted a comment there. If this is your first post to Digital Home Thoughts, please allow up to 24 hours for your post to appear. 4. I'll randomly select one person from the combined total of all the YouTube comments and the comments here. That person will win the laptop. Boom! Anyone in the world can win this laptop, thanks to the generous support of HP and Buzzcorps - it will be couriered to you. If you have questions about the contest, please don't post them here, only post your contest entries - please use the contact form on Digital Home Thoughts to send me a message. I hope everyone has fun with this contest! - Jason Dunn less

QuadCooler Laptop Cooler - This is the QuadCooler. It is strong yet lightweight. It is powerful yet small enough to pack along with your laptop or notebook computer. It is a scientific fact that computers run better at lower temperatures. It is also true that most computers and especially laptop computers run much higher than the ideal temperature where computer function best. In fact, many laptops run at such a high temperature that they might even damage delicate components like processor chips and hard drives. What is a Laptop Cooler? - The QuadCooler is a rectangular platform designed to sit underneath your portable computer and it is powered by a special USB cable that plugs into any available USB port on your laptop or notebook computer. One end of the cable is a standard USB connector and the other end is a standard barrel type power connector. The setup is easy. You simply set your laptop on top of the QuadCooler and then you plug the barrel end into the QuadCooler and the USB end into any available USB port on your laptop computer. Today laptop and notebook computers are more powerful than ever, but that also means they are generating more heat than ever before and the QuadCooler offers a powerful yet lightweight cooling platform for your portable computer. The QuadCooler is compatible with most laptop computers or notebook computers.
